[00:01:24] And I believe we have a representative from the Southwest Florida Water Management District [00:01:29] with us. [00:01:30] If you would meet me at the podium, please. [00:01:41] Whereas water is a basic and essential need of every living creature, and whereas the [00:01:51] State of Florida Water Management Districts and the City of New Port Richey are working [00:01:56] together to increase awareness about the importance of water conservation, and whereas the City [00:02:01] of New Port Richey and the State of Florida have designated April, typically a dry month [00:02:06] when water demands are most acute, Florida's water conservation month to educate citizens [00:02:12] about how they can help save Florida's precious water resources, and whereas the City of New Port Richey has always encouraged and supported water conservation through various education [00:02:22] programs and special events, and whereas every business, industry, school, and citizen can [00:02:27] make a difference when it comes to conserving water, and whereas every business, industry, [00:02:32] school, and citizen can help by saving water and thus promoting a healthy economy and community, [00:02:38] now therefore I, Rob Marlow, Mayor of the City of New Port Richey, do hereby proclaim [00:02:42] the month of April as Water Conservation Month, and the City of New Port Richey is calling [00:02:47] on each citizen and business to help protect our precious resource by practicing water [00:02:52] saving measures and becoming more aware of the need to save water.

[00:04:27] Never known Kayla to be shy. [00:04:30] Whereas the City of New Port Richey recognizes the importance of parents talking to their [00:04:34] teens about alcohol in order to reduce the risks and dangers posed to teens and communities, [00:04:41] and whereas underage drinking, social hosting, binge drinking, impaired driving, and alcoholism [00:04:48] can and do pose a significant challenge to all communities and has the capability to [00:04:54] negatively affect the lives of all of our citizens, and whereas high school students [00:05:00] who use alcohol and other substances are five times more likely to drop out of school or [00:05:06] believe good grades are not important, and whereas 20.8% of Pasco County high school [00:05:12] students reported they started using alcohol at age 13 or younger, whereas the majority [00:05:19] of kids say their parents are their primary influence when it comes to decisions about [00:05:23] drinking alcohol, whereas Power Talk 21 Day was created by Mothers Against Drunk Driving [00:05:29] in 2011 as a day to encourage parents and caregivers to embrace their important role [00:05:36] in influencing America's youth and their decisions about drinking alcohol, and whereas [00:05:42] this year MADD is encouraging parents to use April 21st to create a day to engage in prolonged [00:05:48] conversations with their students as part of its Power of Parents program, and whereas [00:05:56] during the month of April, the Pasco Alcoholic Initiatives Committee, a partnership of MADD [00:06:02] West Central Florida Region and the Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention, will be promoting [00:06:08] Talk It Up, Lock It Up to equip parents with tools and resources so they may facilitate [00:06:14] a successful conversation with their children regarding the dangers of alcohol. [00:06:19] Now therefore, I, Rob Marlow, Mayor of the City of New Port Richey, do hereby proclaim [00:06:24] April 21st, 2018 as Power Talk 21 Day in the City of New Port Richey and urge all citizens [00:06:31] to join in the local and national efforts to raise awareness of the importance of parents [00:06:36] and teens talking together about alcohol to reduce the risks and dangers posed to teens [00:06:42] in our community. [00:06:46] I'm actually going to turn the microphone over to Janine Lawrence, our representative from MADD. [00:06:55] I'll have to bring this down to my level here. [00:06:59] Thank you so much Mayor and everyone for having us here this evening. [00:07:03] Thank you on behalf of Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Pasco County Alliance for [00:07:08] Substance Abuse Prevention Alcohol Initiatives Committee. [00:07:12] Since three out of four teens say their parents are the leading influence on their decisions [00:07:17] about drinking, MADD has designated Power Talk 21 Day, April 21st, as the national day for parents [00:07:25] to talk with their kids about alcohol and to continue the conversation all year long. [00:07:31] The Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention Alcohol Initiatives Committee also asks parents [00:07:37] to learn more about the Talk It Up, Lock It Up program and pledge to do the following. [00:07:43] To not provide alcohol to youth under the age of 21 in their home or on their property. [00:07:49] To monitor alcohol in their home. [00:07:52] To not purchase large quantities of alcohol that is not secured. [00:07:57] And to lock up alcohol in their home. [00:08:00] We want to thank you again for your time and recognition of these valuable programs for our community. [00:08:05] Thank you.

   [00:09:16] Thank you, Mayor and Council. [00:09:18] Before we begin with the actual swearing-in ceremony, I wanted to give you a brief introduction [00:09:22] of the newest addition to our fire department. [00:09:26] Tonight we're going to swear in Andrew Raymer, who started as a part-time firefighter back in January of 2017. [00:09:33] He excelled in that capacity and while he worked a full-time job doing building construction [00:09:42] and he always had the aspiration to be a full-time firefighter. [00:09:46] So we're glad to have him aboard. [00:09:49] When a vacancy occurred in our full-time ranks, Andrew applied. [00:09:54] We opened up the process like we always do. [00:09:58] Andrew finished as the preferred candidate and he brings with him a knowledge of building construction, [00:10:06] a good knowledge of mechanical aptitude, and those are both valuable skill sets in the fire service. [00:10:15] In this millennial day and age, they're kind of hard to come by. [00:10:19] I'll give you a brief bio of where he's from. [00:10:23] Andrew was born in Buffalo, New York until relocating to Florida where he graduated from Middleton High School in Tampa. [00:10:30] He completed his state firefighter certification and EMT certification in St. Peter. [00:10:36] He's here tonight with his family, his wife Kylie, and a lot of our staff to be a part of this special night [00:10:46] signifying the start of Andrew's fire service career. [00:10:50] So at this time, I'd like to invite Andrew down with the city clerk for the swearing in. [00:11:14] I, Andrew Raymer. [00:11:16] I, Andrew Raymer.

    [00:27:31] And this is within the guidelines of the alcoholic beverage ordinance. [00:27:35] Final map was not available as of today from [00:27:39] the organization, but you do have a map in your packet that does [00:27:43] identify the beer and wine locations that they [00:27:47] do wish to sell, and those are in [00:27:51] our standards of what we usually do.

[00:28:47] For those that can't hear Mr. Sherdell from the back of the room on TV, [00:28:51] it's a ticket system. I wish you much success with your event. [00:28:55] I'm sure it'll be great. To the second. [00:28:59] No, I think it's a great event, and a key piece to it [00:29:03] is the disaster expo, [00:29:07] which in light of the fact that we had [00:29:11] for the first time last year, the 40 years that I've lived here, had to [00:29:15] evacuate the city. I think it's very timely to have [00:29:19] the information available to our citizens, and I know that [00:29:23] I believe it's Spectrum that will have, or Bain Newstown that will have their [00:29:27] hurricane guides and I think a hurricane simulator, which is going to be [00:29:31] really kind of cool for kids, and [00:29:35] the duck race for the fire group [00:29:39] is very important. This event is very important [00:29:43] to that small organization who is [00:29:47] within our city limits, and the entertainment [00:29:51] as well as the music should prove to be another great event. [00:29:55] Thank you. Councilman Phelps? Just a logistical question. Mr. Rivera [00:29:59] is the [00:30:00] Is the grass restoration going to happen in between this and Keofest's 4th of July? [00:30:08] Because I know we have money and I know we allocated money in the budget this year. [00:30:15] Because of the timing of Chasco, we've got the next two weeks or so and a little bit [00:30:21] of rain to go along with not having them back-to-back, so that's nice. [00:30:27] I'm just wondering what the grass restoration plan is in between the events. [00:30:33] We're actually going to play that by ear. [00:30:35] After discussion with staff, Chasco was actually really kind to us as far as the aftermath [00:30:42] and what that grass, the turf looked like at its conclusion. [00:30:47] As far as us taking and redoing our scheduling and giving the weeks in between the events, [00:30:52] let it recuperate. [00:30:54] Where we were at last year where we really needed to replace a large section of it, we're [00:30:58] in pretty good shape, so we're going to just keep an eye on it and see if we have to replace [00:31:03] it. [00:31:04] I just want to make sure that it was restored so that we can get optimal use in between [00:31:10] that and catch the early, late spring, early summer rains before Keofest shows up and they [00:31:17] get to use the thing. [00:31:18] Thank you. [00:31:19] Thank you. [00:31:20] Councilman Davis. [00:31:21] Nothing. [00:31:22] There's no further discussion. [00:31:23] All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [00:31:26] Aye. [00:31:27] Opposed, like sign. [00:31:29] Motion passes. [00:31:30] Next is ratification of International Association of Firefighters Local 1158 Contract.

    [00:31:35] Ms. Manns. [00:31:36] Yes, sir. [00:31:37] Mr. Mayor. [00:31:38] It's a pleasure to present this agenda item to you. [00:31:40] It is a proposed collective bargaining agreement between the City and the IAFF covering the [00:31:47] time period October 1st, 2017 through September 30th, 2020. [00:31:53] I'm pleased that there are so many firefighters still in attendance this evening because it [00:31:59] gives me an opportunity to thank the fine men that I had the benefit of negotiating [00:32:06] with. [00:32:07] I'd like to thank Keith Bauer and Micah Short both for your participation in this year's [00:32:12] negotiation session. [00:32:14] What was particularly interesting about it is that they were willing to transition from [00:32:23] a very adversarial and traditional union management position to a form of interest-based bargaining. [00:32:31] It took us a little bit longer to get through the process, but I think that they'll agree [00:32:36] that it was well worth the time to do so, and I'd like to thank you for being willing [00:32:41] to work in that respect. [00:32:44] In regard to the contract, there were three major provisions which were addressed, and [00:32:53] they relate to wages, pensions, and the Chapter 175 premium tax monies. [00:33:00] In respect to wages, we instituted some changes in the career ladder step plan for firefighters [00:33:07] and for captains. [00:33:10] In respect to the pension benefit, the firefighters' contribution was reduced from 8% to 6.5%, [00:33:20] and the definitions of average final compensation compensation, normal retirement benefit, and [00:33:28] early retirement were changed. [00:33:32] In respect to the Chapter 175 premium tax monies, the language that is contained in [00:33:43] the contract actually assigns that value to the city and allows us to reduce the city's [00:33:49] annual contribution to the fireman's retirement system. [00:33:55] There were other changes that were made much smaller in scope, though, than the ones that [00:34:02] I've noted to you already, and they are as follows. [00:34:07] The grievance procedure was modified. [00:34:10] A change was made in the eligibility for holiday pay. [00:34:14] Some changes related to the provisions that apply to promotional examinations. [00:34:20] Layoff and recall procedures were modified. [00:34:23] Some changes were made in eligibility for use of medical leave. [00:34:28] Changes were made to the substance abuse policies and procedures. [00:34:32] Changes were also made in the tuition reimbursement program, and language was added to cover the [00:34:38] eligibility of candidates for the promotion of captain. [00:34:44] With that being said, the recommendation to you this evening is to ratify the proposed [00:34:51] collective bargaining agreement, and I'm prepared to respond to any questions that you may have [00:34:55] of me. [00:34:56] Thank you. [00:34:57] Do you have any input on this? [00:34:58] I have nothing to add to it. [00:35:00] Very good. [00:35:01] Open this up for public comment. [00:35:07] Move for approval. [00:35:08] Second. [00:35:09] Do we have a motion and a second to the maker? [00:35:11] No, I'm looking forward to it. [00:35:12] The men and women that work there really want to help us in the city. [00:35:20] I second. [00:35:21] Again, to reiterate Ms. Mann's thoughts, we just appreciate this was a long time coming, [00:35:28] but we appreciate that it's in place now and are happy to see it in place until through [00:35:33] 2020. [00:35:34] Councilman Phillips. [00:35:35] Of course, this being my last official meeting before getting my certificate at the next [00:35:45] I guess you could say a little bit of pride that we finally have ratified agreements with [00:35:53] both our police and our fire. [00:35:56] Both of them took longer than anticipated. [00:36:01] We're glad they're in place because it shows the commitment of not only the council, but [00:36:07] also the citizens of New Port Richey, thanking you for the work that you do on a regular [00:36:11] basis. [00:36:12] Some of it very public, some of it very private, but it also shows that we are committed to [00:36:18] those two organizations because of their involvement in the community and what you do. [00:36:27] You only get to leave this position with a couple of stars in your column and going through [00:36:33] six years and a couple of different negotiations. [00:36:37] I'm happy that when I leave, that for the next couple of years, you have a plan in place, [00:36:43] the police has a plan in place, and now we can move on to some other city business, utilizing [00:36:50] your specialties and utilizing your skills to show our commitment to not only you and [00:36:56] your organizations, but also to our rank and file employees, and I'm very thankful to know [00:37:03] that when I leave, that there isn't continued negotiation. [00:37:07] So I want to say thank you very much, appreciate all the hard work you do, and thank you. [00:37:12] Thank you. [00:37:13] Deputy Mayor. [00:37:14] No, well said. [00:37:15] I agree with my colleagues. [00:37:16] Thank you for all you do. [00:37:17] I'm glad we're able to get to this point. [00:37:18] Ms. Manns? [00:37:20] I should have mentioned, because it's too significant of a point not to make, that as [00:37:26] part of the pension changes, the city agreed to discontinue the deferred retirement. [00:37:34] Thank you. [00:37:40] Any further discussion? [00:37:43] Hearing none, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye.

    [00:39:13] Ms. Manns. [00:39:14] Sir, Mr. Mayor, as you know, for some time now, the staff has had discussion with the [00:39:20] special event organizers in regard to modifying some of our special event guidelines. [00:39:26] Ms. Smith is prepared this evening to make a presentation to you on the specific recommendations [00:39:33] that are being advanced by the staff. [00:39:37] Thank you. [00:39:38] Ms. Manns, can I ask a couple of questions before she starts? [00:39:42] Is it imperative that this get put into place tonight? [00:39:46] Is it something that there's going to be some insurmountable obstacles? [00:39:55] And the reason I ask the question is, it would make sense to me that these event guidelines [00:40:05] ought to be put in by the full council that's going to have to exercise them, enforce them, [00:40:12] put them through the process. [00:40:14] There still seems to be a little bit of, I don't know, consternation, misunderstanding. [00:40:21] We have people lobbying for this and that, and to be honest with you, you know, I can [00:40:27] be happy to vote on it, but I'm not going to be around to enforce them. [00:40:31] So my question is, is there some reason why, because it matches up with our strategic plan [00:40:40] that we finally have it done or whatever? [00:40:42] So I'm just trying to understand the obstacle here, because once again, it's just like we [00:40:49] did when we hired Ms. Manns and we hired other people. [00:40:52] We waited to sit the council that was going to have to really enforce it. [00:40:56] So I just, I'm ready to discuss it, but I'm just wondering if it, is it better that you [00:41:04] not impose something on other people? [00:41:06] I'm just asking. [00:41:07] In response to the question, it is not at all imperative that this agenda item be discussed [00:41:12] by you this evening. [00:41:13] We can bring it back whenever you feel it's appropriate for us to do so. [00:41:18] Councilman Phillips, is that a motion to table? [00:41:22] Well, I didn't know if somebody else wanted to comment before I actually would make a [00:41:28] motion, but I just, like I said, you need, I think, a full council that really is going [00:41:34] to be in it. [00:41:35] I will make the motion that you table this to at least, not the next meeting, but the [00:41:43] meeting after, if that would be appropriate. [00:41:45] I'd give whoever gets elected and gets put into place, we'd give them about three and [00:41:50] a half, four weeks to really engage on what all of the moving parts are within the guidelines. [00:41:55] Thank you. [00:41:56] Do we have a second? [00:41:57] I'll second that. [00:41:58] Okay. [00:41:59] This is not a debatable motion. [00:42:02] So all those in favor of tabling, please signify by saying aye. [00:42:06] Aye. [00:42:07] Opposed, like sign. [00:42:08] No. [00:42:09] If I might, yes, if I could just put my point in. [00:42:14] We've been talking about this for months, if not years. [00:42:17] I'm looking in the audience and I see there are a lot of people in the audience who are [00:42:21] here for this particular discussion. [00:42:23] If we're not going to vote on it tonight, I think that, I think I'd like to hear the [00:42:28] input from the community that are here for this event. [00:42:32] I mean, for this particular thing, if they're fine with not putting their input in, but [00:42:40] I think that it's important for two reasons. [00:42:43] If we are going to postpone this until the 17th of April or May, then I think that it's [00:42:53] imperative for the folks in the audience to know when is it going to take place. [00:42:58] I had said at one of the meetings that we're kind of changing the rules right in the middle [00:43:03] of the game. [00:43:04] As an event coordinator, they're working on an event a year in advance that are going [00:43:12] to be impacted or possibly impacted by this that may make significant difference to the [00:43:20] event. [00:43:23] I think that if we're going to postpone it, then we should probably, I'll make the suggestion [00:43:30] that it be put into place at a date certain, no sooner than the next fiscal year. [00:43:41] The date that Councilman Phillips would put into his motion would be Tuesday, May 1st. [00:43:50] I don't believe impacts anybody because the Cody River Seafest will have happened before [00:43:57] that and then you've basically got almost two months before the next event. [00:44:01] Well, yeah, but what I'm saying is that the folks that are putting on events over the [00:44:06] summer, which is, I think, I'm sure it's Wrap River Run and KIA Fest and whatever else is [00:44:10] happening in addition to events that will be taking place this year. [00:44:15] These event coordinators have been working on this a year ahead of time, so it's like [00:44:19] we're changing the rules in midstream. [00:44:22] So I'm just suggesting that if the discussion is going to be on May 1st, we're going to [00:44:25] be talking about this, that it would be only fair to the event participants to make this [00:44:33] effective in the next fiscal year. [00:44:36] I think that's a mistake and we've already got them. [00:44:40] We've got a lot of people that are going to be elected, I'm sure, either in the audience [00:44:50] or watching the meeting or will watch the meeting. [00:44:52] So if any event coordinators do want to come, if they have any issues with what's in here [00:44:57] and you want to come and address Council and let us know what you're going to do, we'll [00:44:59] be happy to do that. [00:45:00] Thank you. [00:45:01] Thank you. [00:45:02] Thank you. [00:45:03] Thank you. [00:45:04] Thank you. [00:45:05] Thank you. [00:45:06] Thank you. [00:45:07] Thank you. [00:45:08] Thank you. [00:45:00] issues are, I'm sure the candidates are watching, so then that would, I'm sure, help them come [00:45:06] May 1st. [00:45:07] And that's what I was going to say, that open the floor, let them present what they want, [00:45:12] just that we're not going to vote on it tonight, because there seems to be some additional [00:45:18] items that need to be discussed and put into place, and I just think it would be better [00:45:25] from a collegial body that's going to be seated. [00:45:29] I agree with you completely, Mr. Phillips. [00:45:31] So, I mean, just, you know, bring all your information, and we'll be happy to, I'll be [00:45:36] happy to listen and take it down. [00:45:38] If anybody would care to address counsel on this, otherwise wait until May, but come on [00:45:46] down, Mr. Gillis, and you're invited back on May 1st, too, by the way. [00:45:59] My name is John Gillis, I'm a city resident, New Port Richey, I'm also a business in New Port Richey. [00:46:06] We have had an event every year for the last, I don't know, ten years, I forget when I was [00:46:11] first approached by Ms. DeBellis Thomas and her Main Street organization why I should [00:46:18] come downtown. [00:46:19] I literally drove from Palm Harbor to my dealership back and forth, I really didn't come downtown. [00:46:23] When I came downtown, I found out what a wonderful place it was and the potential it had, and [00:46:30] she asked me, we need to do more things down here. [00:46:33] And the car business has been up and down, I don't remember the particulars at that time, [00:46:38] but she said, you know, we like to have the fireworks, we like to have entertainment, [00:46:43] would you like to do that? [00:46:46] I like to evaluate everything on why am I doing it, who's going to benefit, is there [00:46:52] an ulterior motive for it? [00:46:54] My ulterior motive was to do something good for the city and for the cities and the citizens [00:47:05] to see me as a human being, not a guy shouting at them on TV and giving away free cruises [00:47:10] and vacations. [00:47:11] And I get to shout at them and I get to sing, I get to sing every year at KFS and I'd like [00:47:18] to sponsor more events if they let me sing. [00:47:21] But it started as my reason ultimately was very selfish. [00:47:26] I wanted to have an employee picnic for my employees in the city park. [00:47:33] And what a great picnic to have music up there for two days and to have fireworks and to [00:47:40] kind of have my little center over here to the side, not dead center or blocking everybody [00:47:48] or anything like that. [00:47:50] We had a tent in that park before there were shelters to keep us out of the sun and we [00:47:54] kind of sat off to the side and had a good time and we sat on the wrong side one year. [00:47:59] I admit we couldn't see the fireworks, the fireworks were behind us. [00:48:02] But I've got kind of a little niche in there. [00:48:04] I don't think we do any damage to the shelters when we set up in there because at the time [00:48:10] there was one shelter and one shelter. [00:48:12] We brought another tent, set it up fairly close to it. [00:48:17] I don't believe we did any damage to the existing shelters and had a great time and built a [00:48:23] lot of good feelings for myself to the community and hopefully the community to me because [00:48:29] this community has supported me very well and I want to give back to the community. [00:48:36] I kind of need to keep my employee picnic going and I don't want to put them out back [00:48:41] behind the band shell and then to come up front when the music starts playing and have [00:48:46] those chairs sitting there vacant. [00:48:48] I don't even know whether I'd be able to do that under that scenario. [00:48:50] I don't want to have them sitting there where people are wondering why is nobody sitting [00:48:54] there, why we can't do that. [00:48:55] I'm very, when you have an event like this, I have a hard time telling anybody that has [00:49:01] never bought a Kia that they can't come underneath my tent and drink beer, or not drink beer [00:49:06] but to eat or participate or talk because my customers and my employees are my friends. [00:49:15] I really can't envision how this thing would work for me personally and I think would like [00:49:23] if I could, we're committed this year, period, wherever we sit, whatever we have to do, we'll [00:49:29] do that but I would have to consider next year. [00:49:34] It wouldn't be the same having them back and I don't know whether Chavco is a little bit [00:49:38] different because it's an ongoing event and they're back there and they're coming out [00:49:41] and forth. [00:49:42] It's a little bit different event, I feel, and I don't see what is wrong with doing it [00:49:48] the way that we have always done. [00:49:51] I don't know that this ordinance is really going to affect anybody else in the community [00:50:00] or any other events. [00:50:01] I haven't read it enough, I just heard about it, heard about it and decided to come to [00:50:06] listen and just tell you, you all are doing a good job. [00:50:10] I'm excited about the town and the better job this town does, the more that I benefit [00:50:17] and we're willing to give back. [00:50:18] Mr. Gillis, you'll appreciate I have personally talked with a local radio station owner and [00:50:23] thanked him for not running ads from that Kia dealer who shall remain unnamed. [00:50:29] I love him. [00:50:30] He sends a lot of business my way in an inadvertent way. [00:50:35] Thank you. [00:50:36] Thank you. [00:50:37] Anyone else? [00:50:38] Good evening again, Chip Wickmanowski, President of the West Pasco Chamber of Commerce in a [00:50:56] professional capacity at this point in time. [00:50:58] First of all, I want to thank the city for taking the steps it needs to take to be able [00:51:02] to protect the investment that you have in the park. [00:51:04] You've built a beautiful park and we want to make sure we protect that. [00:51:08] It is truly an icon. [00:51:10] It's something that people want to come and see. [00:51:12] Having said that, I do want to agree with what Mr. Sherdell talked about earlier this [00:51:16] evening that as an event organizer, if you rent the park, you should have been able to [00:51:23] rent the park. [00:51:25] I know that in an earlier, on March 6th, when we discussed some of these things, there was [00:51:28] something in there regarding about having to pay for Peace Hall, paying for a shelter [00:51:33] to offset the cost of the revenue the city might have lost. [00:51:36] I didn't see that in this guideline, so I'm assuming that was taken out and I applaud [00:51:39] you for doing that and the committee that met to make those decisions. [00:51:43] But when you rent the park, you should be able to rent the park and that includes the [00:51:48] structures that are there. [00:51:50] One of the things that we were looking at was a revenue source to make more money and [00:51:55] that's the shade shelters where you could maybe rent out one of those things and put [00:52:00] a banner up there. [00:52:01] Of course, it says no banners there and I'm just asking you to reconsider that when you [00:52:06] run an event for a weekend or several days, that's the only time that those banners are [00:52:10] going to be up and that's the only time that people in the community probably say, oh yeah, [00:52:14] they're having an event there. [00:52:15] I know that sign's going to be there, then it's going to be taken down. [00:52:18] It's only part of the event. [00:52:20] I would like to say that I appreciate the fact that you all went from a 10-foot setback [00:52:25] from the sidewalk to a 5-foot setback from the sidewalk, but I do caution you that one [00:52:30] of the ways we do make money in these events is to provide food and things for people and [00:52:36] having the big space that's necessary is going to cut down the number of vendors that we [00:52:41] have in the park and I ask you to reconsider that one as well as you move forward. [00:52:47] We're very happy about that, about the 10-foot becoming 5-foot, but we ask you to reconsider [00:52:51] that you've got to have that amount of space between after every three non-food tents, [00:52:56] you've got to have another 10 feet. [00:52:57] It's going to cut down on some revenue resources for us. [00:53:02] I just would like to say that the way this is written, we get a sponsor, for example, [00:53:08] for our VIP area and we use the pavilion that's down there, stage right down by the river [00:53:14] and we put up a sign there. [00:53:15] We won't be able to do that according to this and we have to have certain ways that we can [00:53:19] thank our sponsors and bring people on board and that's through utilizing sponsor space [00:53:24] for them when we're able. [00:53:26] I would just like you to consider that for events, we don't necessarily have those restrictions [00:53:31] and people can't put up just tons of signs, but I would like you to reconsider that at [00:53:35] this point in time. [00:53:36] Thank you. [00:53:37] May I ask a question? [00:53:38] Currently, are we having issues with people wanting to rent those? [00:53:53] I mean, I personally wouldn't want to hold a birthday party during any large event in [00:53:57] the park. [00:53:58] Are we having issues with people trying to rent those during these events? [00:54:02] What happened, once we went online with everything, we could do registrations, it's a great thing, [00:54:08] but then it was an issue too because people can just go online and reserve a shelter, [00:54:12] so now we've learned to block out certain dates for large events because what we realized, [00:54:18] what happened really quickly were people were going online, reserving a shelter, not realizing [00:54:24] there was a large event going on and then we would get complaints because either they [00:54:27] couldn't park, couldn't get to their shelter, or there was a loud music, that's not what [00:54:33] they wanted to be there for, so then we went back in and started trying to block out those [00:54:37] dates. [00:54:38] Okay, so it's something we're addressing, I mean, I personally am okay and the candidates [00:54:42] that win election are going to have your decision made first, but I personally don't see an [00:54:47] issue with allowing the shade structures to be part of the event because I just don't [00:54:51] see really the need to have people renting those, I don't see why anyone would want to, [00:54:57] obviously it was done in air, partially on our part, because we didn't have those blocked [00:55:03] out on the website, but you just can't have birthday parties in the park at these pavilions [00:55:08] while we're having these huge events, so I'm okay allowing that, come May 1st, everyone [00:55:14] else will have their input. [00:55:16] And please understand, we in no way are trying to block people from coming to the park and [00:55:20] using it at any time. [00:55:21] Joggers, don't kick the joggers out, Chip. [00:55:23] Or the families that come and let their kids go in the water park section, it's wonderful, [00:55:27] it's all good, it's just those shelters themselves could be advantageous to us. [00:55:31] Yeah, just don't run them out during the events is what you're asking. [00:55:33] Well, I don't go along with this, not only the shade shelters, but the other shelters [00:55:37] that are adjacent there. [00:55:39] If you're going to have some kind of thing off stage and then the people come out to [00:55:44] the event, I think they should be available to you. [00:55:47] If you're renting the park, you're renting the park. [00:55:49] Shade shelters and the other shelters, like the one... [00:55:55] That's the whole reason that in many ways I asked to have it moved, because I wanted [00:56:01] to get clarity, because, you know, not everybody's a lawyer, I don't want to be one, but they [00:56:08] can parse anything and go to the extreme, and over and above that, we've allocated [00:56:15] additional dollars to every one of these special events this year, this year, with a guideline [00:56:21] for what the base minimum is next year, and then you can lobby with the new council to [00:56:26] maybe keep those in place, but I just wanted some additional clarity, because Mr. Bell [00:56:33] Thomas said it right on point. [00:56:36] It's like the NFL changing what's a catch and what's not a catch halfway during the [00:56:41] season, and I think that the more clarity that we give, and if you rent the park, you [00:56:48] get the shade structures. [00:56:49] If that means you can put banners up for a day or two on one of them, Chasco is really [00:56:55] the only anomaly, because it's nine days. [00:57:00] That's a different thing, so that was the main reason. [00:57:03] I wanted additional clarity so Ms. Smith didn't have to run back and forth about, [00:57:09] well, what did we really think this was supposed to be? [00:57:13] We were right there, so I think the additional clarity and being able to line out some of [00:57:19] this will be helpful all the way around. [00:57:21] I thought I saw somebody else in the back that wanted to come up. [00:57:24] I want to go ahead and mention about the banners, too. [00:57:26] I think with the guidance from our set team that these banners that people want to put [00:57:33] up without doing any construction or damage to the shade shelters or the regular full [00:57:43] shade or the shelters, I don't have any problems working with these event coordinators. [00:57:49] These are people in our town. [00:57:51] It's not like they're coming from someplace else. [00:57:54] Anyone else? [00:57:57] Hearing none, then I think one thing I would suggest, even though we're not going to vote [00:58:05] on it tonight, one of the recommendations, and I would bring this to the attention of [00:58:11] the Cody River Seafood Festival and Main Street Brass, was the discussion recommendation that [00:58:20] is being made that larger events, and both of those fall in that category, need to start [00:58:27] thinking about park and ride. [00:58:29] You are going to lose the entire north parking lot from the Old Baptist Church. [00:58:38] Ms. Fierce, when might they be losing that? [00:58:44] I'm going to say within the next half a year, potentially. [00:58:49] Maybe the next two months. [00:58:52] We've got to close on it. [00:58:55] Once that happens, you will have lost another 50 or 60 parking places. [00:59:02] We've already started these conversations with the Chasco folks, but consider yourself [00:59:07] on notice that by the time Main Street Blast happens, you may not have that parking. [00:59:17] You need to be thinking about it now. [00:59:18] I know there's a car dealer that has a trolley that might be able to help deal with some [00:59:25] of that, but just for what that's worth, don't wait until October 1st to think about it, [00:59:35] because it's going to happen sooner rather than later. [00:59:39] Any other discussion on this? [00:59:41] Was there anybody else coming down? [00:59:43] I thought I saw somebody looking to come down, and I think she decided she didn't want to, [00:59:48] because she's still sitting back there in the back. [00:59:51] Tina Farrell. [00:59:54] In that case, we'll close this discussion, and we will have a... [01:00:00] new discussion on May the 1st with our new city council members, some of whom, four of [01:00:09] the six candidates are sitting in the room tonight, so they've gotten the benefit of [01:00:14] sitting through this part of the discussion. And we're going to have two new council members [01:00:22] up here in a couple of weeks. Next item on the agenda is the amended request to purchase

    [01:00:33] three Harris DM-M78B mobile radios. [01:00:36] Yes, sir. Mr. Mayor, it's come to our attention that we made an error in a communication that [01:00:43] you received in conjunction with your meeting on November 7th, 2017. The error is that we [01:00:50] listed Communications International as the network service provider for the three radios, [01:00:58] and it should have been Williams Communications Incorporated. We are therefore asking you [01:01:05] to approve the purchase of the three radios with Williams Communications Incorporated [01:01:11] so that we can go forward and pay them for the radios. [01:01:14] Thank you. I'll open it up for public comment. Seeing none, bring it back to council. [01:01:18] Move to approve. [01:01:19] Second. [01:01:20] To the maker. [01:01:21] No. Great. Thanks for catching that, and we're glad we can do it. [01:01:25] To the second. [01:01:26] Deputy Mayor. [01:01:27] Councilman. [01:01:28] No, sir.

    [01:01:39] for the city manager, Ms. Manns. [01:01:41] Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Let me start by saying on March 20th, I had the benefit of a performance [01:01:49] evaluation with you. This tonight is due to be sort of the second part of that, at [01:01:54] which time you consider a salary adjustment for me. Since the performance evaluation, [01:02:01] I've had much time to reflect on the comments that you have made, and I am very grateful [01:02:06] to be your city manager. As an extension of that, I am very grateful for the city employees [01:02:13] and the department heads of this city, and I'm committed to provide them with a salary [01:02:20] adjustment for the next fiscal year. Therefore, I'm not seeking a salary increase this year, [01:02:28] and it truly is just my honor and pleasure to serve you. [01:02:32] Thank you. Open it up for public comment. The applause says it all. Bring it back to [01:02:40] council. [01:02:41] I think that's very admirable of you, Ms. Manns. It shows true leadership, and thank [01:02:46] you for those words. [01:02:47] I would entertain a motion to accept her recommendation. [01:02:50] Move to accept. [01:02:51] Second. [01:02:52] Second. [01:02:53] To the maker, any? [01:02:54] Second. [01:02:55] Thank you, and I'm sure all the employees at home thank you. [01:02:59] Second. [01:03:00] Second. [01:03:01] Well, I think it speaks very well to the point that I made when we did the performance [01:03:05] evaluation. Ms. Manns has truly embraced this community as her own, and we really do appreciate [01:03:16] her being the city manager and for taking that step, so we thank you for that. [01:03:23] Thank you. Councilman Phillips. [01:03:25] I'm ready to vote, Mr. Mayor. [01:03:27] In that case, Ms. Manns, it has been my pleasure to have you serving as city manager.

    [01:03:43] You cannot get away now. [01:03:44] You're up. [01:03:45] I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on some of the projects that you all had [01:04:03] approved earlier in the year, and we haven't really talked too much about it, so I want [01:04:08] to start off with the first two projects. [01:04:11] They kind of tie in together, the police boat lift and the boat shelter over at the [01:04:17] police facility over off of Adams Street. [01:04:20] We're projecting that the construction will start for those two projects in April, the [01:04:26] end of April, and we have the police department standby generator. [01:04:31] Now that thing is down in Texas at the factory being manufactured or put together right now, [01:04:37] so we've heard from the vendor and we're expecting that. [01:04:47] The wastewater treatment plant standby generator, and these were all those things that you all [01:04:51] had talked about where we would be at for our next storm season. [01:04:56] That has only got maybe another week before they finish out the completion of that transfer. [01:05:02] The existing generator that was there that you'll see in the next line item, the portable [01:05:06] standby generator, that's been put into that trailer that you all allowed us to purchase. [01:05:13] We will start working on that, and we're hoping that by the end of May we'll have that outfitted [01:05:18] to where we'll be able to utilize it for our master lift stations or some of the facilities. [01:05:24] The goal would be that we would be able to get over here at City Hall and take a look [01:05:29] at some of the stuff that we have and at least get the majority of this building up and running [01:05:33] if there was a power outage. [01:05:36] The LED bridge lighting on Main Street, we talked with the consultant. [01:05:41] We've been going back and forth. [01:05:43] We should have bid documents by this Friday. [01:05:46] We'll be able to get that out on the streets, and hopefully we can start the construction [01:05:50] in May. [01:05:52] The Harborview Mobile Home Park berm removal, that was the manatees that we had brought [01:05:58] to you and told you the story about that. [01:06:00] We had a meeting with the HOA. [01:06:04] All the residents that live over there came to it. [01:06:06] We updated them on our progress with it. [01:06:10] SwiftMUD was a part of the whole concept and the modeling. [01:06:16] They support... [01:06:17] The residents were in favor of that. [01:06:24] We went ahead and applied for SwiftMUD permit approval. [01:06:29] We should get that back next week, and we will start construction sometime in May, we're [01:06:34] hoping. [01:06:35] Thank you. [01:06:36] Any questions? [01:06:37] I have one question, if I may. [01:06:38] Sure. [01:06:39] I spoke to Robert about this earlier in the week, and it's been brought to my attention. [01:06:44] We... [01:06:45] Not to do... [01:06:46] Oh, you're not done. [01:06:47] Carry on. [01:06:48] Go on. [01:06:49] Sorry. [01:06:50] I wanted to take this slide, this opportunity to update you on what the utility itself has [01:07:01] been doing. [01:07:02] We've been working with finance and the consultant on our water and wastewater wholesale rate [01:07:08] studies. [01:07:11] We think that we can take the existing customers that we have and maybe reduce our rate in [01:07:18] an effort to where we can sell more, and then that way we can have more of a steady [01:07:23] revenue that we can project for you. [01:07:27] We have the utility revenue sufficiency analysis that we'll be bringing to you within the next [01:07:32] few weeks. [01:07:34] That basically will tell you how well the utility is doing and whether or not any bonding [01:07:39] issues for capital projects would be expected in the future. [01:07:43] We also have staff working internally on our utility standards, and what I mean by [01:07:50] that is that's how we conduct business, make our repairs, how we construct items. [01:07:54] They all have to be the same, whether we're doing it or whether contractors are doing [01:07:58] it. [01:07:59] Currently, the city does not have any streetlight standards or guidelines. [01:08:05] We are finishing up on that with the consultant. [01:08:07] We'll be bringing that to you, and basically what it will do is it will call out standard [01:08:12] locations for the different areas and roadways. [01:08:15] It'll call out what types of lighting will be used for those applications, and then finally [01:08:21] we have the Orangewood Lake utility valuation study that we'll also be presenting to you. [01:08:27] That's the potential purchase of that utility. [01:08:30] I wanted to go over some of the projects that you know that are in progress now, the 2015 [01:08:37] street project. [01:08:39] We should be completing Madison Street this week. [01:08:44] We've finished Conger Street as far as paving from one end to the other. [01:08:48] You'll still see crews out there. [01:08:50] They'll be doing the detailed work in the aprons. [01:08:55] The contractor will have to come back to Conger Street to start installing the sidewalk, but [01:09:00] as far as paving goes, the two main roads are completed, and they will be moving into [01:09:05] the residential streets the next couple weeks. [01:09:10] The Francis Avenue restroom replacement project, we had a little bit of a kink. [01:09:17] The contractor and the submittal process was a miscommunication between the engineers. [01:09:24] We've since got that worked out, and so that project should start to accelerate. [01:09:29] We ended up getting the foundation poured last week. [01:09:36] We finished the recreation center expansion project, and I want to stop here just to let [01:09:41] you know too, this is a public works presentation, and public work is involved in a lot of things, [01:09:50] but none of these projects could be a success unless it wasn't the effort of every department [01:09:56] that's sitting here, as well as you all with the input and the residents saying what they [01:10:02] want and the heavy involvement of the city manager. [01:10:06] We're just helping out with the process. [01:10:11] This picture here is a picture with our drone. [01:10:15] This was the Orange Lake dredging phase two. [01:10:18] This is what 3,579 cubic yards of sentiments looks like, and that was hauled off the site [01:10:24] and disposed of. [01:10:27] This was an in-house project that was in your CIP program. [01:10:31] It called for three EV stations. [01:10:33] This was the first one that we opened up, and this was all in-house work that was done. [01:10:41] This was the second one that was completed over at Sims Park near Peace Hall, and we [01:10:46] have a third one that we're in the process of installing here at City Hall in the parking [01:10:52] lot over by Florida Avenue. [01:10:55] We've purchased all of our materials for the directive traffic control signage. [01:11:01] You'll start seeing those installed around Orange Lake and the downtown area, and again, [01:11:08] that's in-house. [01:11:10] We've replaced the doors to Peace Hall. [01:11:14] They weren't original doors that were there, but they had the original design or cuts in [01:11:19] the front of it, so we had the contractor also do the same one so we could replicate [01:11:25] what it looked like originally. [01:11:28] And then now we're in the process of doing the windows. [01:11:31] This is a hardwood from Brazil that they say is guaranteed not to rot forever, and that's [01:11:37] the problem that we've had over there with the windows and the condensation that constantly [01:11:43] is on them. [01:11:44] Is that Ipe? [01:11:45] I'm sorry, what? [01:11:46] Is that the Ipe wood? [01:11:47] I'm not sure what it's called. [01:11:49] That's the tough outdoor wood that they use for outdoor seating projects, so yeah, it's [01:11:56] very hardy. [01:11:58] And then this here is what we call the SCADA utility upgrades. [01:12:01] This is part of that project that we've been talking with you for a few years now. [01:12:06] It started with the AMI smart meters that we had, and now it's gone into the water plant [01:12:13] and the wastewater plant. [01:12:15] This basically is the water plant's main screen. [01:12:20] This is a technology where the operator can sit there and he will have certain alarms [01:12:26] that will tell him that dosages of the water that he's using to treat might be off. [01:12:32] This will actually automatically adjust those perimeters to put it back in line. [01:12:39] It will also create work orders so that any kind of diagnostics that is identified by [01:12:45] it would require a technician to still go out to that facility to make the repair and [01:12:51] then close it out. [01:12:54] This here is a retainer wall that's off of Grand Boulevard and Virginia Avenue. [01:13:00] Originally, we had a real steep fall off on the bank where a sidewalk went down right [01:13:08] before you went into the Cody River Park. [01:13:11] And I just wanted to show you this. [01:13:13] This was something that we did about eight months ago, but it's things that you don't [01:13:18] notice and the guys did this in between their regular maintenance jobs. [01:13:25] You all approved a sandbagger this year. [01:13:27] We finally received it. [01:13:29] Currently, the residents have to go out to our sand pile with shovels and fill the sandbags [01:13:36] up before a storm. [01:13:38] Now we're trying to make it a little bit easier for them and we can get the sandbags out a [01:13:43] lot faster. [01:13:44] Now we can fill that up. [01:13:46] They can come underneath there, put the bag, it fills up, and then they can move on. [01:13:51] Thank you. [01:13:54] This truck that you approved, this is probably the most important piece of equipment that [01:14:00] a utility has, blockage, chain cutters that goes into the large pipes, the cutaway routes, [01:14:15] and all kinds of different types of functions that you can think about, this piece of equipment [01:14:21] can do it. [01:14:23] And then this is a six-inch generator pump, a portable pump, and you might ask, well why [01:14:29] am I showing it to you? [01:14:32] It's because our guys were looking at grants and they came across this small community [01:14:38] grant that the purchase price of this pump was $33,000. [01:14:46] The city ended up paying $16,000 for it when it was all said and done. [01:14:51] And that included all the hoses and everything that we needed. [01:14:55] And then I just wanted to finish up by telling you that our neighborhood spring clean-up [01:14:58] day is May... [01:15:00] 19th. It's between 8 and 5. The drop-off locations remain the same at Francis Avenue Park and [01:15:07] the River Road Church property. [01:15:08] Ms. Mance, can I ask a follow-up question? Mr. Rivera, I know in our strategic plan we [01:15:18] talked about how we weren't going to be able to take utilities underground and throughout [01:15:23] the entire city on most of our street projects and stuff. If there is any way possible to [01:15:29] look at that strategically on Gulf Drive, any way that you'd be able to at least remove [01:15:37] some of those obstacles, whether it be trenching, because I think in some ways the road work [01:15:47] on Gulf Drive isn't going to be quite as expedient as you saw in Madison and Congress. But if [01:15:55] there are some ways, because that road seems to be a much lower, my Gulf High English is [01:16:02] showing up, I apologize. But it seems to be tighter, and because of the business elements [01:16:08] there. So if there's a way that you could eliminate some of the power poles or some [01:16:15] of the other things there, and if it costs another $50,000 or $60,000 on that street, [01:16:21] I think it would be money well spent as a one-off. Not that you can do it everywhere, [01:16:28] but because of that main, the way it tightens down in the space and it really doesn't open [01:16:35] back up like some of the other roads. I just offer that as a suggestion. We're doing it [01:16:42] in the fees and stuff, so I just think if anything to alleviate that claustrophobic [01:16:47] as you're coming down would be a really, would be a net benefit, I think, in some ways. [01:16:53] Any other questions? [01:16:55] Sorry I interrupted you. [01:16:56] No, it's all right. [01:16:57] You weren't even close to halfway through. Two things I'm very excited about. We get [01:17:01] a lot of complaints, and we did, even during, remember on the Chesapeake Boat Parade, people [01:17:06] yelling, you know, we need no wake signs up river. There's no where to put no wake signs [01:17:10] unless you want to put one on your own dock, because we don't have channel markers further [01:17:12] up river. So having the boat lift and having the boat more accessible for our police department [01:17:17] to be out on, I'm not even that concerned with, I know they work with Marine Patrol [01:17:21] and everybody else out in the Gulf, but to get a presence in the river, especially on [01:17:25] weekends when everyone's hurrying back, throwing wakes to get back to the, you know, beat the [01:17:29] thunderstorms, get back to the boat ramp, so it's going to be great having that. I'm [01:17:32] really, really, really excited also about the bridge lighting. I think that's just going [01:17:37] to look awesome at night. I just can't wait to see the outcome of that project. And one [01:17:42] thing I, what I started to bring up earlier was, we, you know, we've had some issues, [01:17:47] we tend to have issues in certain parts of our city with trying to come up with effective [01:17:52] ways to calm the traffic, and we had some residents speak to us a long time ago, Councilman [01:17:58] Phillips brought it up a couple minutes ago as well, on River Road in that area, and I [01:18:02] know we've had strips down more than once. I spoke to you about it personally last week [01:18:06] on the phone, but it's been brought to my attention, a lot of those residents along [01:18:09] that stretch feel neglected because they haven't heard anything from the city. We haven't acted [01:18:14] yet other than just putting the strips down. What can they expect? Are they going to be [01:18:18] invited to give their input on what ideas you have to calm the traffic along that section, [01:18:24] and what type of time frame would they be looking at from here on out now that you have [01:18:27] the results, if you could just address them? We finished up with all of our traffic counts [01:18:33] that gave us all the information that we need to take and give some recommendations. I supplied [01:18:40] that to Ms. Manns for her review, and I'm sure as soon as she concludes that or comes back with [01:18:47] some comments to me, we'll be able to start handing out those recommendations and proceeding. [01:18:53] But yes, we would... Perfect. It's just been a long time, and I don't want any of our residents [01:18:57] to feel neglected when they come to us with a problem. And we want to do it right, and I think [01:19:00] we have some issues. Not only is there traffic common, but there's also some roadway characteristics [01:19:06] that are unique on that road as well. Yeah, the sidewalk's about two inches from the road, [01:19:11] number one. Correct. So I think you're going to start seeing it move fast here. And I also wanted [01:19:17] to update you on the... Does that meet code? I don't think it meets code. I'm sorry, that was my [01:19:23] Grand Boulevard project that you all are talking about. We just ended up getting the concept task [01:19:29] order from the consultant that includes all the amenities that you all have been talking about [01:19:35] for that area of Grand Boulevard. So you should see that moving forward pretty quickly as well. [01:19:40] And I believe the CIP document or program called for the construction to begin [01:19:46] in next fiscal year. Robert, you do a great job for the city, and we're fortunate to have you. [01:19:51] Thank you. I want to just extend another compliment. I happened to notice our jewel, [01:20:02] you mean in Sims Park, the historical society on the north side of the building was some mildew [01:20:08] growing on it. And I talked to Ms. Manns, and she assured me that we could get it done and get it [01:20:14] cleaned up, and it's not really our responsibility. It's the historical society. But we stepped up [01:20:19] which of course got passed down to you, Robert, and you took care of it. And I want to thank you [01:20:23] because I've also got a thank you from the president of the historical society to pass [01:20:29] on to you. So thank you. Thank you. I could ask a question of you. So Mr. Rivera, you're the man then [01:20:36] for residents to contact, or your department rather, if there's trees that are blocking [01:20:44] stop signs. Yes, ma'am. Okay. And also if there's streets that are incredibly dark and are in need [01:20:51] of lights. Correct. Okay. And that number they would find right on our website. Right. It's [01:20:57] 841-4536. That's the main line. Thank you. I appreciate that because that is a question that [01:21:03] I think people confused as to working with the city entity, you know, who gets called on that. [01:21:09] So thank you. I'll be calling you. Okay. Any other questions? We just have one other, Robert. [01:21:15] You and I go back a long, long way, and I just wondered how your flag football coaching has been [01:21:20] coming along. It's an inside joke, folks. Sorry. I just had to throw up my last real public meeting. [01:21:26] But Robert and I go back, and I had darker hair, and he had hair. Isn't that right? And I retired [01:21:34] that day. Thank you. On that note, we're now to communications and reports. Deputy Mayor?
